If the requirements were not met, then the City would move to <br />district court for recourse. <br />Hollander stated that his house was built in 1857 by Samuel Lydiard, who founded the <br />township of Orono and designed Highway 169. Hollander indicated he is currently living <br />in a motel. He asked if he would have to come back before Council if he had a <br />disagreement with Oman.
